Windows 7: windows 7 home premium multi-colored swipe error

I have a dell inspiron notebook less then one year old. Every time I attempt to start up it suggest start-up repair or start normally. If I choose start normally it begins to load with the microsoft symbol when all of the sudden a multi-colored streak runs across the top half inch of the screen and it freezes for good. I have used startup repair and the computer is unable to automatically repair it, I have tried to reboot from an image of the computer and the same error happens at start-up. I have even gone as far as restoring the factory settings but there is nothing that will prevent that little streak from showing up and freezing my computer mid start up. Any help would be great. thank you guys

I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.
Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.

Weird Multi-Colored squares behind Windows Aero themeSo I've just recently noticed these squares in random locations across my screen, they don't move but I can only see them when the windows aero part of the window passes them. I have attached a picture as well. Does anyone know what this is?

Letters are Multi-ColoredQuite suddenly the letters are now showing up multi-colored and/or are partially visible. I am slightly color blind so what looks to be a partial letter might actually be a liter color. In fact all letters are some color other than black. How do I get the "normal" view back?

Multi BSOD Win 7 home premium 64bitHi,
I bought my sony vaio vpcf136fm about a month ago and it was running normally until it started BSODing with the stop 0x000000BE mentioning the iastor.sys file during the initialization. Eventually I could start it in safe mode with command prompt, but it didn't last enough to save the dmp...
